The Castle by Richard Veal
This is Corfe Castle, which lies between Wareham and Swanage, in Dorset. / The castle can be seen from far away, as it dominates the Purbeck Hills. / I decided to put on the B&W tinted version as the main picture, and below, you will see the colour version. Both have been edited in CS3, just to make them a little different from the usual pics you see. I hope you like it. / Thank you for looking.
-
Stour Bridge by Richard Veal
This is the bridge at Sturminster Marshal in Dorset. / The river is the Stour, which rises in Wiltshire, and enters the sea at Christchurch/Mudeford. I am glad the horse riders were crossing the bridge, as it gives more of a country look, and adds scale to the picture. / I also added an extra layer and gave it a slight blur to give a sense of movement in the horses. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it.

Golden Cross by Richard Veal
This cross can be found in Wimborne Minster, Wimborne, Dorset. / I wanted to capture it like this, with the main focus on the cross, and the Stained Glass Window being a blur in the background. I hope you like it. / Thanks for looking. Image Info. / 4.48mb. / 3346×5013. / 400 dpi. / 1/45 second. / f5.6. / 55mm focal length. / 800 iso.

Bristol Cross & St Peter's by RedHillDigital
Bristol Cross & St Peter’s The Bristol High Cross & St Peter’s Parish Church, Stourton, Wiltshire, England. Some 40 feet high, the High Cross was originally erected at a main crossroads in the city of Bristol in 1373. The cross was a monument to four kings of England – Edward III, Edward IV, Henry III and King John. Later 4 more statues were added – those of Charles I, Queen Elizabeth I, Henry VI and James I. By 1733, the Cross was considered by some to be something of an obstruction to the thoroughfares of the city, so it was moved to College Green and rebuilt on land owned by Bristol Cathedral. Unfortunately there followed more complaints about its location, and in 1768 the Cross was moved again to the gardens of a friend of the cathedral’s dean, Henry Hoare of Stourhead. St Peter’s Parish Church is on the Stourhead Estate but does not belong to the National Trust. It dates from the 14th century but was reconstructed in the 19th century. The Church contains monuments and relics belonging to the Hoare and Stourton families. Date: 25th October 2009

Old by Alan Watt
Another tree shot. / This one was taken in Victoria Park in Bristol. / I uploaded the original shot a while back but I am experimenting/bored so I thought I would add some filters and textures. / I quite like it!! A really good friend of mine, singer and songwriter Mike Bennett decided to write a piece to go with this. / I think it fits beautifully. Old Why should I clutter my world / With trying so much / When everything always returns / To what it is anyway I should have done nothing / All these years / While my character blossomed / In the decay of maturity I am old without regrets / That’s a good thing / For one so frustrated / By his own light When I was asking questions / Writing everything down / Flowers were living and dying / Without giving a damn They brought happiness / For a moment then went / I wish I would have got old / A long time ago Michael Bennett / www.mrbennett.com / www.myspace.com/planetbennett

About This Group
Wessex is the ancient kingdom which now basically consists of the counties of Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Hampshire and parts of Gloucestershire. I have a certain amount of flexibility as to where the borders are in respect of submissions.
There is a wonderful breadth of available material, from the ancient Stonehenge to the modern technology of the aviation and boat worlds, modern architecture etc. We have historical sites, coastline and an abundance of nature.
Please scroll down for the group’s rules – please read them and comply, especially regarding the location of your images, which must be included in either the title or in the description so people looking at the group’s work know where they are seeing
